Chapter 86
Jack’s eyes lit up when he heard Bella’s words. He loved beautiful women. However, he had toned down his impulses a lot after nearly causing the demise of the Zimmer family because he lusted for Simone. He had almost died during that incident. But since Bella was trying to set him up with someone, he was interested once again. “What kind of beauty? Where is she from? What’s her family background?” Jack asked warily. “Don’t worry, Mr. Zimmer. She’s nothing special. She’s just a new kid wanting a break in the acting industry. She was an extra on one of the projects I was on. Now that I’m giving her a chance, she’s eager to climb up the ladder of success,” Bella said with a smile. “Alright then. We’ll see how things go,” Jack said indifferently. He could make his own judgment. Bella wanted to use this opportunity to defuse the situation between their families, but Jack was not foolish enough to allow it blindly. As for Bella’s intention of using a woman to bait him…

“Camille, go and drink with Mr. Zimmer,” Bella said with a persuasive look. Camille gritted her teeth, raised her glass, and clinked it against Jack’s. Then, she gulped down her drink in one go. The moment she finished the wine, she felt dizzy. “Bella, I think I’m drunk…” After that, Camille slumped over the table. “Mr. Zimmer, the rest is up to you,” Bella said with a meaningful smile. Jack smiled. He immediately wanted to make a move on Camille. When he got close, his face froze. Why did this woman look so much like Simone? “What did you say her name was?” Jack frowned. “Her name is Camille… Camille Langley,” Bella said. “Does she have an older sister named Simone Langley?” Panic was evident on Jack’s face. “Oh? Have you heard of her, Mr. Zimmer?” Bella had a bad feeling about this. “Bella Wyatt!” Jack yelled. He was suddenly enraged. “You vicious, crazy woman! Are you trying to get me killed?” Angrily, he sprang up from his seat. He pointed at Bella and cur

At that moment, Bella was overwhelmed with shock and confusion. It was only Dustin… Why was Jack so terrified? “This has nothing to do with me! Bella arranged all of it. She called me here! I didn’t know a thing! She was the one who drugged Simone’s sister!” Jack was terrified, and he kept bowing as he explained everything to Dustin. Bella was furious at the sight. “Stop begging!” she snapped. “Jack Zimmer, you’re still the heir of the Zimmer family. It’s unbecoming of you to beg the discarded outcast of the Wyatt family!” Bella’s disdain was palpable. She was appalled that she had respected Jack enough as an opponent to try and buy him over with a woman. “Jack, you’re spineless!” Bella said coldly. Jack froze and glared at Bella. “Bella, you stupid woman!” he cried angrily. “You don’t even know the kind of person you’ve provoked!” Bella laughed when she heard that. She looked at Dustin in disgust. “He’s just a useless servant we kicked out of the Wyatt family.
Chapter 89
“You act tough and ruthless, Dustin, but you’re still terrified of the Wyatt family!” Bella’s voice got louder and louder. “Maybe it’s because my father has some hold over you, or maybe it’s because you know the hidden power of the Wyatt family, you’re afraid of all of us, so you don’t dare to take real action against anyone! What’s wrong? Did I hit a nerve?“You’re nothing but a coward!” Bella laughed loudly. She looked very satisfied with herself as though she had seen through Dustin entirely. Dustin’s face darkened. It seemed that by sealing her memories about what had happened with the Verdant Gang, he had made her arrogant and delusional. Did she not know that Shadow One and Shadow Two were already dead? Rage surged in Dustin’s heart. It was true that he had been holding back for the sake of his adoptive father’s kindness toward him. That was why he did not harm the Wyatt sisters despite his rage. He did not expect his consideration of their family would delude Bell

At Rivenesco First Hospital, Bella screamed. “You have to fix them! You have to fix them!” Bella’s face twisted in pain as she shouted. After Dustin left the hotel, she endured the pain and rushed to the hospital with her severed fingers. She couldn’t afford to lose those two fingers! “Don’t worry, Miss Bella. You will recover just fine!” the doctor said. Hearing this, Bella finally sighed in relief and fainted. When she woke up, it was already the next day. Her sisters had arrived and were gathered around her hospital bed. When they saw that Bella was awake, her sisters leaned in. “Bella, how are you? Does it still hurt?” “What in the world happened?” Her sisters bombarded her with questions and annoyed her. She motioned for them all to keep quiet. Soon, she jolted awake as if she was electrocuted. She quickly brought her hand in front of her face to inspect it. She screamed just as she had done yesterday. Her left hand was wrapped in bandages, but ther

Bella’s image was completely ruined. She was cast aside by those in the entertainment industry. In the past, Bella had a lot of diehard fans who defended her no matter what scandals popped up about her. They always fought against haters online. Yet, when this news broke out, many of Bella’s fans turned into her haters themselves and joined in with the others against her. This time, there was no way to clean up the mess. The Wyatt sisters were all quiet. None of them said anything for a long while. It was not just the media outlets fueling the flames. Many official accounts also called her out and accused her of things. “The public opinion is affecting the company, too. Our stock price has plummeted to a record low in the span of a day. We lost billions!” Clara said solemnly. When Clara said that, her other sisters failed to keep their composure. Their faces grew darker. The impact of this incident was more massive than they had ever imagined. “After getting the news,
Chapter 92
At the Langley family villa, Camille slowly regained consciousness. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the worried Dustin and Simone’s worried faces. “Simone, Dustin, where am I? Why do I feel so dizzy?” Camille asked blearily. Memories from before she fainted slowly came back. She remembered that Bella had called her and urged her to drink some wine. After she drank the wine, she felt weak and drowsy. She recalled seeing a lecherous smile on the face of that rich man as he approached her…Camille’s eyes widened, and she immediately sprang upright and threw aside the covers. “Simone, I… How did I get home?” Her eyes welled up, and she trembled. She was only in her twenties and had never experienced such trauma. “Don’t worry. Nothing happened to you,” Simone said gently as she caressed Camille’s forehead. “Dustin brought you home from the hotel. He already dealt with the culprit.” Camille looked at Dustin when she heard that. Dustin nodded at her. Only t

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Camille was stunned and speechless at the attention she was getting. “Dustin, is Ruby the friend you mentioned? You’re amazing! I can’t believe you know Ruby!” Camille looked at Dustin in delight. Camille felt like this was a great honor. A famous agent wanted to sign her on even though she was a newbie. She had never even starred in anything before! “What? A friend?” Ruby looked shocked when she heard that. “Miss Camille, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not…” She wanted to explain, but she did not dare to say another word when Dustin shot her a look. The doorbell rang again. Simone went to the door. This time, the person who arrived was a plump, middle-aged man in glasses. “You’re the famous director, Horace Timm!” Simone said in surprise. Even as an outsider in the entertainment industry, Simone knew who Horace was. He was a respected and famous director with many notable productions to his name. He had won countless
